In a major embarrassment to the Karnataka Police, a letter allegedly written by the personnel attached to the Subramanyanagar police station in Bengaluru to President Droupadi Murmu went viral on social media on Monday. The nine-page letter claims that it is written by the policemen attached to the Subramanyanagar police station, who are victims of harassment. The letter alleges that the police inspector in-charge Sharana Gowda is torturing the lower rung officers and staff to mint money and give it to him. In the letter, the staff members have alleged that whenever they approached the police inspector for leaves, he told them they could only get leaves if they were able to mint money for him through corruption and bribes. Whoever gives money to him is being given leaves and other facilities. The beat police have to shell out Rs 5,000 bribe to him to get the beat vehicles allocated to them. The police inspector brings his wife to the station and keeps on chatting with her in the chamber, the letter alleges. The letter further charges that the police inspector gets his children dropped to the swimming pool in department vehicles. The inspector is turning a total blind eye towards the staff who do not collect money for him. Whenever, the women staff approached him for leaves during the menstrual cycle, the inspector asks them to resign and go home. The inspector also misbehaves with them and invites them home.
